    Summary

    Computed tomography (CT) identified optic disk drusen calcification in four patients. This study considers clinical indications and differential diagnoses for intra-orbital calcification.

    Area of Science:

    • Ophthalmology
    • Radiology
    • Medical Imaging

    Background:

    • Optic disk drusen are abnormal calcifications within the optic nerve head.
    • Accurate diagnosis is crucial for appropriate patient management and avoiding unnecessary interventions.
    • Computed tomography (CT) is a valuable imaging modality for evaluating orbital structures.

    Observation:

    • Four cases presenting with unilateral or bilateral optic disk drusen calcification were identified.
    • These cases were detected during CT scans performed for various clinical indications.
    • The imaging characteristics of calcified optic disk drusen were analyzed.

    Findings:

    • CT demonstrated calcification in the optic disk drusen in all observed cases.
    • The pattern and extent of calcification were noted.
    • The study highlights the utility of CT in visualizing these calcifications.

    Implications:

    • CT findings can aid in the diagnosis of optic disk drusen.
    • Understanding the differential diagnosis of intra-orbital calcification is essential for radiologists and ophthalmologists.
    • This imaging-based observation contributes to the literature on optic nerve head pathologies.
